What People are Saying

  • "A splendid, heartfelt novel that knows far too much about what is going wrong between men and women in these strange and dizzying times. Joyce Maynard's subject is love, but her gift is presenting it in all its many masks and stony guises as men and women blunder toward each other with all the tenderness of their wounds open for all to see. Her book feels real enough to live in."

    ~ Pat Conroy, New York Times bestselling author of Prince of Tides

  • "A novel that has the intimacy and directness of a voice whispering in your ear. It is about love, loss, memory, music, men, women, children -- and how they drag us kicking and screaming into adulthood. A lovely book. And true."

    ~ Erica Jong, New York Times bestselling author of Fear of Flying.

  • "Funny, tender, and true...Maynard's best yet."

    ~ Kirkus Reviews
